The Poor Lit,,e ONES.

We often see children with red eruptions
on face and hands, rough. scaly skin, and
often sores on the head. These things in
dictate depraved condition of the blood.
In the growing period children have need
Of pure blood by which to build up strong
and healthy bodies. IL Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery Is given, the blood Is
purged OF its bad elements, and the child's
development will be healthy and as 1t
should be. Scrofulous affection, ricketts,.
fever sores. hip joint disease or other grave
maladies and suffering are sure to result
from neglect and lack Of proper attention
to such cases.
A Lovely Complexion.
"what a lovely complexionr we often
hear persons say, 81 wonder what she does
for IT," In every case the purity and real
loveliness of the complexion depends upon
the blood. Those who have sellow ,bl0tchy
faces may make their lkin smooth and
healthy by taking enough OF DR.. Pierce 4

humors lurking in the system.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

Miss President, Fellow Wimmen, and
Male Trash generally: am here to-day
for the purpose of discussing women's
rights, re-oussing her wrongs, and cussing
the men. l believe sexes were created
perfectly equal, with the women little
more equal than men. | also believe
that the world would to-day bo happier if
men had never existed. As a failure.
man is a success, and | bless my stars
that my mother Was a woman. tApplause.)
| not only maintain these principles, but
| maintain thriltless husband besides.
They say man was created first. Well,
s'pose he was. Aint first experiments
always failures? If l was o betting mon

are. The only decent thing about him
was q lib, and that went to make some
thing better. Applause J And then

GOOD STEWARDS

Mr, Spurgao0 speaking 70 o company
of preachers on their stewardship, said:
81 DO not intend 70 speculate with my
Masters money, / vil not to save ten
thousand sonls, speculate with my Mas
ter's account. If / could shake lao whole
country by delivering some novelty which
I did not find in the Word Of God, l
would not do it. / have simply to trade
honestly with my Masters goods, and
nothing more, because l an the steward,
end not the Master. Let US keep our
place, and then our God will keep us IL
our places.
Sometime we may become false to our
trust BY being men-pleasers; when the
steward comes under the influence of the
head -plougbman o f the serVant-maid'
then it all goes wrong, We are infuenc-
ed one by another. The greatest will be
influenced by the least; but still it is for
that man who is faithful for God to infu-
ence, His influence is from the Master,
from headquarters. There must be no
holding back to please this person, no
dwelling on q certain point 10 please this
other person. o.! brethren if you want
to 90 in for pleasing everybody, you are
indeed in for task! You will aot even
succeed in pleasing yourself if that be
the attempt of your life; but to please
your Master, though it looks o sterner,
ia still an easier task.

We are glad that the success ofthe DEM
ooratic party depends on the manual labor,
er of this country. He is the first to feel
the mismanagement Of the affairs of the
government, and the first victim of yicions
legislation, consequently the party of his
allegiance must live up to it's promises to
keep him as an adberent. The democrat
ic party has performed, and is performing,
we'll its obligations, and its followers
must be patient unto the end, when all
for which they are striving will be accom-
plished, and that toe, in much shorter time
than by attempting to reach it by near

DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION.

1t is quite early to speak it, but Hon.
John Shermans recent speech at Spring
field, Ill, naturally leads US to think of
politics; and while we have the subject
in hand we beg leave to inquire whether
it is not almost time to begin the work Of
thoroughly organizing the democracy in
Arkansas. 1t is the duty of every County
Central Committee in the State to see to
it that the township and ward organiza-
tions are kept up. We learn that the or.
ganization made by our County Commit
tee Just before our last congressional elec-
ton, by the appointment of township COM
mittees and special electors, is to be kept
up, that other names are to be added and
d close canyass of the democratic strength
of the county is to be made before the
next election, ticket put out and the
most earnest canvass ever made in the
county is to be conducted in the interest
of pure democracy. 1t is the Intention of
our county committee to have the name
Of every man who intends tcYote the dem,
ocratic ticket, and in townships where a
respectable number will not turn out at
mass meetings, special canvassers are to
be appointed to ascertain the views of eve
~ democrat upon the question of making
nominations for state senator, representa-
tive and the various county Offices. In
many townships the committees appointed
made good headway towards a close Or
ganization at the last election, received ac-
cessions to their working force and are
yet keeping up their organization. Let
all the townships organize thoroughly.
The committees named in the address Of
the County Executive Committee, pend
ing the congressional election, are to IN
derstand that they are continued until the
mass meetings in their townships next
year.

Death of an Old Resident
of Somerset.

Died in Englewood, n. j., on Friday,
Nov. II, 1887, Hon. Cullen Sawtele, form
erlv of Norridgewock in this State, and a
member of Congress from this District in
the Goth and 3lst Congresses, 1910 and
1919. Our old politicians will remember
the strong contest between Col. Sawtelle,
and Dr. james Bates for the election.
Col. Sawtele was the candidate nOmina-
ted Mt the regular convention of the Dem
ocratic party, but the Bates men kicked
and called new convention mt which DR..
Bates was nominated. The contest was
strong and somewhat yirulent but the
Bates men succeeded in holding the bal
ance of power and there was no election.
A second trial was to be had, prior to
which the Doctor came down, and the Col.
was elected-ths was for the Goth Con
gress. After getting into Congress the
Col was lavish in the distribution of pub
lie documents and other forms to the
Bates men so that all opposition to him
was withdrawn, so far as the Democratic
party was concerned, and he was easily
elected to the 3lst Congress. He was q
man of estmable character, quiet, aifahle
and kind to friends and indnlgent to the
opposition, was a lawyer Of good stand
ing, and after leaving Maine he was al
one time the friend and legal adviser OF
A. r. Stewart & Co. At the time of his
death he was eighty-three years of age.
He was graduated with Longfellow, Haw
thorne, Cheevcr, Bradbury, Cilley, Abbot
and Benson.

When green horse makes his FIRST trip

out it the green horse would feel very
much out of his element. That is one
reason. Were it not for the pole the old
horse that accompanies the green animal
would never permit the latter to travel
within the rails. Old car horses evince
a deep-rooted hatred against newcomers.
